Hello,

I am very interested in sanskrit language. Does anybody know sanskrit translation of:

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

Thank you very much

If possible asap please...

Im sorry. I do not know. However, I do know that it is unlikely that Sanskrit (especially the Classic Sanskrit that you are looking for) was the native tongue of Buddha.

It is possible that he spoke Vedic Sanskrit, which dates back much earlier; however, most believe that he spoke Magadhi Prakrit.

Just a heads up before you go tatting yourself up with misinformation. ;)
